A powerhouse on the football field for the Las Vegas Raiders, Crosby is also a fan of the fight sports scene and has always admitted to enjoying a good blood fight. He'd like to see more crossover between the combat sports world and professional football, and his endorsement of the event only strengthens that notion.
Dana White on combat sports boom: "The timing couldn't be more perfect"
Dana White, in conversation with a Forbes reporter, accentuated the perfect timing for Power Slap and the growth of combat sports. With traditional boxing fading away, technology and streaming have given the sport a new nucleus to countless eyes worldwide. He reiterates how the ever-evolving ecosystem allows Power Slap to exist and grow shortly, making it a global phenomenon.
White also pointed at the infinite opportunities for viewership, with over a billion already tuned in:
"We completely believed in this thing when we bought it. The question is, is the timing right? And the answer to that question is, the timing couldn't have been more perfect with the decline of boxing, technology growing as fast as it did, streaming—the list goes on and on."
White added:
"The reason I said that what you pictured happening just keeps getting pushed further and further is because we believed that this would work all over the world, and it has. We are the biggest pay-per-view provider in the world, we're in over a billion homes worldwide on some form of television. But when you look at what the ceiling for this business is, there are eight billion people in the world. So I believe that if I put the right fight on, in the right place, with the right guys, you could get eight billion people to watch a fight. I believe."
